STEP AND RAIL SYSTEM TO AID DISABLED OPERATORS OF RIDING MOWERS

摘要

A step and rail system adapted for riding mower so that a physically challenged operator can assist themselves in mounting the seat is provided. The step and rail system provides a horizontal support rail configuration of two spaced apart rails. The present invention includes a front mounting plate for an intermediate step and two rear mounting plates for supporting the two spaced apart rails that extend from the rear of the riding mower to the front mounting plate. The horizontal support rail configuration may provide a compound bend fore the seat so that the horizontal support rail configuration is wider adjacent the seat as compared to the mower stepping surface.
